Of all the natural disasters that could befall us only an Earth impact by a large comet or asteroid has the potential to end civilization in a single blow. Yet these near-Earth objects also offer tantalizing clues to our solar system's origins & someday could even serve as stepping-stones for space exploration. In this book Donald Yeomans introduces readers to the science of near-Earth objects
- its history applications & ongoing quest to find near-Earth objects before they find us. In its course around the sun the Earth passes through a veritable shooting gallery of millions of nearby comets & asteroids. One such asteroid is thought to have plunged into our planet sixty-five million years ago triggering a global catastrophe that killed off the dinosaurs. Yeomans provides an up-to-date & accessible guide for understanding the threats posed by near-Earth objects & also explains how early collisions with them delivered the ingredients that made life on Earth possible. He shows how later impacts spurred evolution allowing only the most adaptable species to thrive
- in fact we humans may owe our very existence to objects that struck our planet. Yeomans takes readers behind the scenes of today's efforts to find track & study near-Earth objects. He shows how the same comets & asteroids most likely to collide with us could also be mined for precious natural resources like water & oxygen & used as watering holes & fueling stations for expeditions to Mars & the outermost reaches of our solar system.

NEXT I APPLIED TO WORK IN THE ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT a sealed room where women operated clattering machines like enormous typewriters. After I had catastrophically & erroneously applied all the wrong information to several trolley loads of documents & lumbered the staff with weeks of corrective work I was shown the door by a tight-lipped manageress. I knew what was coming. Over the relentless furious din of machinery I lip-read the familiar words: Lacks the necessary aptitude." Pam Ayres early childhood in Stanford in the Vale was idyllic in many ways & typical of that experienced by a great swathe of children born in rural areas in the immediate post-war years. Though her parents generation was harrowed by war better times were coming. Everything the family needed was within walking distance in the village & life with four older brothers & a sister in their crowded council house was exceedingly lively. In her late teens Pam grew dissatisfied with her life as a Civil Service clerk with only the local hop for scintillating excitement. Having seen three of her brothers called up for National Service & sent off to exciting destinations Pam felt desperate for travel & adventure. She joined the WRAF & soon found herself in the Far East. There she began to write in earnest & develop the unique talent that would make her one of Britains favourite comics... Written with Pams much-loved combination of humour & poignancy The Necessary Aptitude is a beautifully written memoir of her early years." ...
